Boys prep of the week: Kyle Chernoff

 What he did: Chernoff scored three of the Mustangs' seven touchdowns, on 49, 14, and 36-yard runs, respectively, in the team's 48-0 shutout of San Rafael on Saturday. Chernoff also had 168 rushing yards on nine carries on the day. With the win, San Marin improved to 2-2 in league and 2-5 overall.

 What he said: "It felt pretty good because (they were) my first touchdowns on varsity. I was pretty much just finding holes. It's been pretty good so far, pretty good season. (The win) felt pretty good because we needed that to keep our playoffs hopes alive."

 What's next: Chernoff said after the football season ends, he'll "probably just be going to the weight room and getting ready for next season."

 Off the field: When he's not in class, at practice or at a game, Chernoff said he likes to spend time with friends playing video games and basketball.

 Trivial matter: Chernoff is a big Sharks fan, and has been ever since his brother took him to a game in 2006. "I wish I could play it, but I don't know how to ice skate," he said. Its appeal? "It's pretty much football on ice."

 Coach Dan Hickey: "It was like a coming out party for him. We've always known he was a great runner. He's got great vision, great football sense when he's running the ball. He doesn't dance too much, but makes good, effective cuts and uses the blockers well. He's been kind of splitting time with David Marinoff ... but he's made a case (for himself), and he's only a junior, which is really, really good."
